Accommodations are cheap and easy to get. The food is amazing....lots of seafood and it's very inexpensive.

You need to be there for the 24th of October in Guayaquil, Ecuador for the media. It is really important that pilots come in Guayaquil on the 25th of October for media attention. From the 25th to the 28th, there will be free aero-towing and thermal/XC flying (no competition). October 29th we go to the beach.

Then we all go to Canoa and have ridge racing competition from October 30th until November 2nd. The tasks range from 50 to 80km.
